I agree - I found Joe and Chris very helpful when they came to us last year. However, you have to concede that things in life move on. I think to have "The Big Question" and "Reader Rescue" would stretch their resources, and person power, a little too far for comfort.

I liked Reader Rescue too and would love to see if revived. That said I'm not going to SHOUT about it Wink

Re: BRING BACK READER RESCUE!!!

I`d very much like to see it back. I could well have a job for them before the year`s out.

Re: BRING BACK READER RESCUE!!!

We've replaced Reader Rescue with The Big Question which enables three readers each month to come and try out test kit in our listening rooms and discuss a hot technical topic. Reader Rescue was great for the person concerned, but perhaps not of so much relevance to everyone else.

I agree. To be honest once you knew the kit that was brought along it was quite obvious how it was going to end up.

The Big Question
is much better, although I would like to see as well a spotlight on 1
reader each month and a little run down of their kit with some info
about them and their hifi etc..

Also agree about the Reader Rescue though Selfishly they could bring it back for 1 issue and come to my House Big Smile


Nice idea about the Reader Spotlight, but how about the Spotlight going on the WHF Staff, I am sure everyone would be curious about what they listen too/Watch when they get home.

I think we all have equipment lists in the 'Your system' section.

Re: BRING BACK READER RESCUE!!!

Totally Agree!  Loved Reader Rescue and Miss It!  One of the best features of the magazine, period.
